Ladies and gentlemen
You could've been anywhere in the world tonight
But you're here with us in New York City
Are you ready for a cabinet meeting, huh?
The issue on the table
Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume
State debt and establish a national bank
Secretary Jefferson you have the floor sir
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
We fought for these ideals we shouldn't settle for less
These are wise words enterprising men quote 'em
Don't act surprised you guys 'cause I wrote 'em
Ow, but Hamilton forgets
His plan would have the government assume state's debts
Now place your bets as to who that benefits
The very seat of government where Hamilton sits
Not true
Ooh, if the shoe fits wear it
If New York's in debt why should Virginia bear it
Uh, our debts are paid I'm afraid
Don't tax the south 'cause we got it made in the shade
In Virginia we plant seeds in the ground we create
You just wanna move our money around
This financial plan is an outrageous demand
And it's too many damn pages for any man to understand
Stand with me in the land of the free
And pray to God we never see Hamilton's candidacy
Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky
Imagine what gon happen when you try to tax our whiskey
Thank you secretary Jefferson
Secretary Hamilton, your response
Thomas, that was a real nice declaration
Welcome to the present we're running a real nation
Would you like to join us or stay mellow
Doing whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello
If we assume the debts the Union gets a new line of credit
A financial diuretic how do you not get it
If we're aggressive and competitive the Union gets a boost
You'd rather give it a sedative
A civics lesson from a slaver
Hey neighbor
Your debts are paid 'cause you don't pay for labour
We plants seeds in the south we create
Yeah keep ranting, we know who's really doing the planting
And another thing, Mr Age of Enlightenment
Don't lecture me about the war you didn't fight in it
You think I'm frightened of you man we almost died in a trench
While you were off getting high with the french
Thomas Jefferson always hesitant with the president
Reticent there isn't a plan he doesn't jettison
Madison you're mad as a hatter so take your medicine
Damn you're in worse shape than the national debt is in
Sitting there useless as two shits
Hey turn round bend over I'll show you where my shoe fits
Excuse me
Madison, Jefferson take a walk
Hamilton take a walk
We're going to reconvene after a brief recess
Hamilton
Sir
A word
You don't have the votes
You don't have the votes
Ah ha ha ha
You're gonna need congressional approval and you don't have the votes
Such a blunder sometimes it makes me wonder
Why I even bring the thunder
Why he even brings the thunder
You wanna pull yourself together
I'm sorry these Virginians are birds of a feather
Young man I'm from Virginia so watch your mouth
So we let Congress get held hostage by the south
You need the votes
No we need bold strokes
We need this plan
No you need to convince more folks
Well James Madison won't talk to me
That's a non-starter
Ah winning was easy young man
Governing's harder
They're being intransigent
You have to find a compromise
But they don't have plan they just hate mine
Convince them otherwise
And what happens if I don't get congressional approval
I imagine they'll call for your removal
Sir
Figure it out Alexander
That's an order from your commander
You could've been anywhere in the world tonight
But you're here with us in New York City
